The
Epidemiology Monitor - October
2026
Editor's Note:
While the
rest of the country and much of the world are paying
attention to elections and wars at the EpiMonitor we've
got a lot of other things on our mind. From AI to cancer
to DEI research cuts, this month's issue of the EpiMonitor
has a lot to take your mind off more mundane topics.
However,
we didn't want to forget the elections so we reached back
into our archives to find a piece on how to spot
falsehoods whether the topic is medicine or elections. It
turns out the basics are the same when you're trying to
determine whether the information being presented to you
is true or not.
Free Books
are back and this time you'll find 44
titles available to you for just the cost of shipping.
Our friends at EpiCentre have also updated their list of
free calculators with 5 more that they've found since last
month or that you took the time to send to them.
We've
officially begun the annual project of building our
worldwide event calendar for 2027. If your institution
has a public event that runs at least 8 hours we'd like to
include it in the calendar. We normally list short
courses, conferences, summer/winter programs, meetings,
and unique events such as hackathons. We also have
advertising opportunities to help you spread the word
about your event. Please feel free to
reach out to us with any questions you may have.
You'll find more information in this issue so you can see
what details we need from you to list your events.
In jobs
this month you'll find almost 100 open positions
including, for the first time ever in the EpiMonitor, a
full page of fellowship opportunities. Fall is prime job
posting season and the next 60-90 days should be chock
full of openings for you to review. Have an open job?
Reach out and we'll send you information about our
advertising program for jobs.
Job Seeker Survey
- Please take a few minutes to answer this
survey to help our advertisers determine what you want in
a job and how much information to include in their job
ads. This is a dozen short questions in an online format
that will help both employers and job seekers.
As always,
we continue to provide you with our popular monthly word
game feature, an overview of what we are reading from the
public media, and a listing of near term upcoming events.
This month's Notes on People includes 16 of your peers -
many of whom are being honored for their work.
Until next
month - stay safe and busy!
